Why the study?

Does histopathologic subtype predict prognosis in patients with primary extremity liposarcoma?

Structured PICO

Does histopathologic subtype predict prognosis in patients with primary extremity liposarcoma?

Population

Patients with a localized primary liposarcoma of the extremity treated at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center between 1968 and 1978

Intervention

Histopathologic subtypes (well-differentiated, myxoid, fibroblastic, lipoblastic, and pleomorphic liposarcomas)

Outcome

5-year treatment failure rates and survival rateshard clinical

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
